Overview

Adjust Display Window

The Adjust Display window lets you fine-tune the contrast of your dataset for each color channel individually. A histogram at the bottom shows intensity values for the currently displayed slice, helping you visualize adjustments.

List of widgets

  • Color channel: choose the color channel to adjust.

  • Min slider and edit box (define the black point)
    Min Slider
    Sets the black point; intensities below this are rendered black.

    • on the slider sets it to 1.
    • on the histogram sets this value.
      • Enter values (including negative) directly in the edit box.

  • Min button: assigns the channel’s minimal intensity as black.

    • on the button opens a menu to exclude a percentage of low-intensity points.

  • Max slider and edit box (define the white point)
    Max Slider
    Sets the white point; intensities above this are rendered white or pure color.

    • on the slider sets it to the maximum for the image class.
    • on the histogram sets this value.
    • Enter values (including above max) in the edit box.

  • Max button: assigns the channel’s maximal intensity as white.

    • on the button opens a menu to define the white point from the histogram.

  • Gamma: adjusts gamma: <1 enhances high intensities, >1 enhances low intensities.

    • on the slider sets it to 1.
  • Link: links all channels so Min/Max/Gamma changes apply to all simultaneously.
  • Log: switches histogram between linear and logarithmic scales.
  • Auto update: enables automatic histogram updates after each slice change.
  • Update: updates the histogram for the current slice.
  • Current: recalculates intensities for the selected channel on the current slice using specified parameters.
  • All slices: recalculates intensities for the selected channel across all slices using specified parameters.

Histogram

The histogram plots intensity values (X-axis) against pixel counts (Y-axis) for the image shown in the Image View Panel — not the full slice.

Warning

Adjustments to Gamma are not reflected here.

Set Min and Max values for the histogram via:

  • Manual entry in the edit boxes.
  • Slider adjustments.
  • (to set the minimum intensity, i.e. the black point) or (to set the maximum intensity, i.e. the white point) clicks on the histogram.
